Dh got the washer fixed , sock plugged the pump.. thank goodness, he could fix it, its not that old and I don't want to buy a new one..

The kids bought bbq last night, I couldn't believe I could eat it, hardly no salt. That I think is the first place I can get take out food! The brisket was so tender it fell apart.. I am missing my fruits and veggies, so am going to start adding them back in, the kids are trying to stick to their atkins.. so I will eat them when they aren't here.

It got so hot yesterday, we had to turn on the ac's! today is suppose to be back to 79, but that's still warm for may.. ha, snow then heat.. crazy weather!

trying not to work on work today, ended up doing it yesterday, so I am going on strike today, lol, we will see how long it lasts! The news said to plant, but Dh still needs to till and hes working today, I wish we could get ahead, but it looks like that's not going to happen.. we got another order, yesterday, and I just broke down in tears,, ugh, its getting really overwhelming, and frustrating. I worked 2 hours, then looked at the next project, and I did the last one backwards,, I spent time looking at it to make sure I didn't mess it up, and I did it again, so had to take them all apart and redo.. ugh... I am making more work for myself!!

I am trying to figure out the king soopers pick up grocery thing. Its hard making a list of what you want, I have to type everything in, the first 3 are free, hopefully it will save a lot of time, if I can figure it out.. I guess safeway delivers to your house, but I don't think they are going to drive clear out here to deliver, or it will cost a fortune.. Anyone else tried this?

Sunny and windy here. My first Sunday back to church in a month and a half! Picking up an elderly neighbour to get her there on time. It's potluck Sunday too. Plus we've been invited out this evening. Will try to fit in some walking this afternoon.

Our Hyvee stores offer online shopping. They will deliver it to my home or I can go pick it up curbside. Haven't quite figured out which curb... I've not used their service. We do order online from WalMart and have it delivered to the house. If the order is at least $35, then shipping is free. Plus we get back 3% of the total order cost if we pay with a Walmart credit card

My heart is full of joy. My mother was able to get out to church for the first time in about a year. After church, I asked her if she still felt well enough to go out to lunch with us, and she agreed to go. She ate a huge lunch! And she kept saying how excited she was to be there. Both of my sisters and hubbies, plus one nephew joined us, and Mom just kept looking around at all of us there together. The only missing sibling was my brother.

We had our small group this morning, then church, then lunch. Then we went on a walk. Now I'm getting ready to type a letter to one of my grandsons, and then it's nap time.

Next week is going to be busy, as we will be planting tomatoes, and midweek, my mom will be going into a nursing home for a month. My sister, who does the primary care, will be gone for a month. I have health problems that prevent me from doing the full time care, and my other sister still works full time. We are telling Mom that she gets a month's vacation at the home, touting the meals and snacktimes, and all the activities they have there. Plus she will be getting therapy, and she always does so well following therapy sessions. Not sure she'll buy that explanation.....

Did groceries cause I had almost nothing in the house. Then I've been on the couch the rest of the day watching cops.Working at one of the elementary schools tomorrow, that'll be so different from the colleges I deal with so that should be exciting.
